Monkey Boy and his drugged up Mamma
So yeah these meds are great. Until they made me sick. Blech. I don't mind the "feeling a buzz" action, I kinda dig it but the "I almost lost my lunch in front of people at the post office"? Not so much. I've gotten to where I take the medicine with food no matter if it says I don't have to. Before I had kids I could take the tylenol with codeine on an empty stomach. Not anymore. I will say though that my back doesn't hurt as much. I don't take anything if I'm going to be driving anywhere. Since it hurts like the dickens when I don't take anything, I don't tend to go far or often. Tomorrow though is a big day.
My sister in law, Fluffy, and I are volunteering at the Mall of America for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The Race For The Cure is going on this Sunday but we're going to help out with the Kid's Fun Run. Since my Gramma died from breast cancer and an aquaintance of ours just found out she has it, I wanted to do something to honor these two women plus the thousands of other survivors and family members who have lost a loved one. I know I couldn't finish the run but I knew I would love helping with the kids. I wanted to spend some time with Fluffy too and this was something we both care about so what a great plan. We'll be out at the MOA from 1-5 tomorrow (hopefully) having a great time. The weather better hold up nice.
Monkey Boy was laying in Daddy's lap and they were rocking in the glider rocker.
Me: "Monkey Boy, don't fall asleep, it's too late for a nap buddy."
Monkey Boy: "Mommy, I so tired. I tired Mommy."
Me (seeing his eyes are closed): "Are you faking it?"
MB (in his serious/accusing tone of voice): "Nooo."
We were all giggling and laughing for the next ten minutes. That boy cracks us up. How he can keep a serious look on his face when he knows he's being a smart ass is beyond me. Then he and his dad make funny faces at each other and Monkey Boy always wins the "who can make the other laugh the most" contest. All he does is an exaggerated frown, almost like he's trying to pull the corners of his mouth down (without using his hands). Daddy cracks up every single time. I'm talking tears in the eyes laughing. I need to get it on video for my 6 or 7 readers.
Speaking of my readers: Thank you so much for all the comments. I love getting them and they make me laugh so much. It's nice to have validation from others. I'm trying to get to everyone's blogs. I get sidetracked by my kids a lot and come back to the computer trying really hard to recall where I was going. Rarely do I get that thought back. So I do appreciate it though and I'm trying. Don't forget to check out Flickr and the kids. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, grammas, great grammas and steps. I know it's early but I doubt I will remember to blog this weekend. (I say that and now I'm gonna have 5 posts by Mon morning. Sheesh.) Anyway, have a good one!!
I would like to point out that I did not do this to Peanut's hair. That would be her father's doing. I will, however, be the one showing it to the entire world

It is really nice of you to volunteer on Mother's Day weekend. It is great that you are teaching your children to pay it forward :-)
Happy Mother's Day!
PS I had those sheep sheets on my bed when I was a kid :-)
ps - I miss the old name too.
